Weeeeiiiiird, I'd be curious what happened with his accout

Anyone else suddenly getting Reddit followers? I've yet to purge my account, and my account, which has no real activity, is suddenly getting an influx of followers. wth is going on over there? lol

I can get behind that, that'd work great for me. / I saw some app that allows certain apps force preventing suspensions, but that feels like a hacky solution, and I'd still rather be able to lock the screen, so a sort of trust or exemption to the viewport rule would be great

Of course! Thanks for coming to my TED talk :P
I really hope they can add that option, but I get the feeling it's looooow on their priority list since it's perceived as a feature. But here's hoping :)

Same boat as UrbenLegend, it's noticeable when playing FPS's. It's like the latency you experience when playing on modern game consoles, if you don't notice it, then that's great for you, but oncenyou get used to the low latency responses of PC gaming, it's really hard to go back, not so much for how it impacts how well you do, but because the latency suddenly feels like you lack control.

I'm not sure if it has a different name, and I apologize if I'm saying things you already know. Viewport is basically just what's visible on your screen.

Wayland, for optimization and security, suspends apps not visible on your screen. Normally, this is a really great feature, but it becomes problematic for me.

For instance, I'm playing an mmo, I keep a browser open on another virtual desktop so I can find things I need and the game doesn't alt-tab very well. While I'm on the second virtual desktop, it suspends my game, the mmo assumes I've disconnected, and logs me out. This is becoming more of an issue with most games now being live service, so I can't just queue for a game in Overwatch, then go browse on the other vdesktop.

Let's say you don't use virtual desktops. I play music from my computer while I'm cleaning the house. Screen locks, music stops. I know, I can use caffeine to keep it from sleeping, but I shouldn't have to, and what if I want to leave the room and not have to worry about what kind of damage a family member can do without having to know my login?

It's technically a good feature, and I would absolutely keep it on if it were on my work computer, but it just doesn't fit for my personal rig. It's not an optional function since it's considered a big win for security, but I'd love the option to toggle it off so I can keep using my computer the way that I want to. It may sound silly, but it drove me back to xorg, despite me otherwise loving Wayland.

That's amazing!!! Great news! Now just need the option to disable viewport suspension, I'd be on it 100% of the time

I hopped on Manjaro back before people started flaming it to kingdom come. I'm still using it 4 years later and still loving it 😊 I play with other distros on another computer for funsies, but my home rig stays the same

I think it does send the request the first time you click, but it takes a while to get a response from another server. Try it with some communities that are local to your server and you'll notice it's not so much an issue. I'm not a Dev and not am authority on the topic, but I think it puts your request into a queue, this helps make sure that your request makes it to the requested server in the case that one of those servers is temporarily down for maintenance or updates.

What I think needs to happen is just to provide a visual response to indicate that your request is sent and awaiting a response, which doesn't usually happen until you click it a second time.

Great looking out 😊

Basically it's the concept that AI becomes "sentient", has it's own motives, and ability to learn

For some reason, I thought it was interchangeable terminology, I'm glad to understand better now. I could see a lot of P2P's forgoing encryption then, since presumably you're not hopping over any other devices or networks.
